Tell us about your school: # of students, # of classrooms, and a contact number for school representative who will lead the fundraiser (typically head or member of PTO/PO).

Tell us why you wish to do this fundraiser, what are your financial goals? What do you seek to bring to your school? Having a specific goal in mind before beginning the fundraiser creates a more successful fundraiser.

Arielle will make contact and get you started!

Tips On How To Make Your Fundraiser the Best It Can Be!

1. Include your whole school in the planning and execution stages of your fundraiser creation!

2. Choose what you want your school to have that it doesn't already have.

Is it to bring in a cool author? (It would be my pleasure!!!!)

Is it to build a new playground?

Is it to provide the newest and coolest art supplies or create an art program?

Is it to take really neat excursion as a school?

Is it to get new musical instruments for the music room - or maybe to set up a musical program?

2. Figure out the cost of what the school decided upon and decide on a number to be your fundraising goal.

3. Decide on the number of days your fundraiser will be help. Kickstarter research revealed that 30-60 days usually work the best. 36 days was my go to number for my Kickstarter and it was perfect!

3. Engage a few school leaders to create a wall thermometer with the fundraising goal on top and intermittent goals to hit. Have those leaders fill in the thermometer weekly as the goal gets closer and closer to being reached. Make weekly announcements so the school gets excited!

4. Tap into the connections of your families - who knows maybe they own a business or work for a business that would like to take the fundraiser to a new level and match all your donations!

5. Get creative! Your own creativity on what will work best for your school and community are nearly always the greatest ideas!
